To end up this year's great serie of Global Training Days, join us in Taicang, Suzhou for a full day training Introduction to Drupal, free of charge, to learn the basics of Drupal and take a faster start building websites with professional and experienced trainers who will take you through real-life examples, tutorials, experts' tips and best practices.

With a rich Training experience this year and improved curriculums, we have the great pleasure to let you know we now have a unique chance of bringing the Global Training Days to professional Training Schools in China for the first time.

This full day training will be organized in partnership with the professional school Shanghai Institute of Contemporary IT owned by Future Networks in one of its training centers.
Having a well renowned experience in providing PHP Training curriculums, among other IT courses, it offers a tremendous opportunity for PHP and computer science students to discover Drupal in a highly focused school environment, driven by industry professionals with a sustained experience as trainers.

In general, this training course is free, open to everyone(please sign-up in advance) and highly suitable to anybody who would like to learn how to build a website or would be interested in discovering Drupal, with or without Drupal and/or development/application experience (PHP/HTML/CSS/JS knowledge is not required).
Our main objective would be to provide concrete information and transfer enough knowledge to participants about Drupal capabilities to arouse their curiosity to keep exploring further beyond the scope of the Training.

Through concrete use cases, real-life examples and demonstrations, participants will be shown how to build a website with Drupal and perhaps try finding a potential concrete field of application in their professional areas.
For more details, please check the complete curriculum.

By demonstrating some of the most common mistakes made by site builders who would think Drupal could be approached like any other PHP project (with hacks in Core or hard-coded logic in template files), trainers will try illustrating the "Drupal way" with Tips, Resources, Community Hubs (Getting help) and Best Practices Guidelines.
Hopefully, this might prevent some sites from being built with Drupal in terrible unsustainable ways, which people generally see as a failure of the software, when it is actually due to a lack of training or experience from site builders, ultimately penalizing Drupal's reputation and perceived image.

We would like to invite anybody who would be curious or have an interest in discovering Drupal and would like to be driven by experienced professionals in order to take a fast start, on the right track, with the right resources.

It is highly advised that you try to bring your laptop for more convenience.
We would greatly appreciate any of your questions, comments, feedbacks, ideas, recommendations or concerns on any aspects of this event or its organization and would surely be glad to provide more information.

Thanks very much to Future Networks for joining the Global Training Days initiative and giving us this amazing chance of spreading Drupal in China by the means of education.
Thanks in advance to everyone for your support and getting involved! We're definitely looking forward to this Global event!
Cheers!
